this is what she deserves, congratulations to payola

Labels/artist teams can buy airplay for radio stations...you can't buy authentic streams on platforms like Apple music and spotify. All this does is make it so artists labels can payola increased odds of top 10 or better..

whats suspicious is that, this will make Rihanna go hire for sure. So. Payola wins.

I drive and commute and I haven't listened to the radio in years. Why listen to the same 15-20 songs every hour when you can stream whatever you want, when you want. Radio is so barbaric.

i'm stoopid, is this good or bad? it sounds bad, sounds like a label can just pay for radio success and make a song seem like a hit without actually being consumed
